Saturday, July 9, 2016. Chaos and violence continue, the persecution of
Sunnis continue, Hillary Clinton supposed 'feminist' stands exposed as
knowing of the plight of Iraqi women and doing nothing to help them
(thank you, WikiLeaks), US House Rep Corrine Brown can no longer pretend
to help veterans as she's facing over 20 criminal, federal charges, and
much more.

A 2011 email to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton shows how the
U.S. pressured Iraq’s new allied government to increase oil production
in order “to pay the greatest dividends.”

U.S.
State Department officials stressed that “Iraq is potentially one of
the largest oil producers in the world,” but lamented that it was not
meeting its full potential.

In
the email, which was released by the State Department in response to a
Freedom of Information Act request, they outline plans “to help move the
country in the right direction” — that is to say, to increase Iraq’s
oil production by at least 150 percent in the next five years, with the
help of “oil contracts with international companies.”
[. . .]The email to Sec. Clinton shows that, while oil was certainly not the
only factor behind the invasion of Iraq, it was a top priority for the
U.S. government.

Anti-war
protesters frequently accused the U.S. and its allies in the U.K. and
elsewhere of spilling blood for control of natural resources. “No blood
for oil” was one of the most popular chants in protests against the war.

The e-mail may make many recall then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's 2011 speech.

When then-U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton voted to authorize the war
against Iraq in 2002, she justified her support of the invasion as a way
to protect America’s national security. But less than a decade later,
as secretary of state, Clinton promoted the war-torn country as a place
where American corporations could make big money.“It's time for the United States to start thinking of Iraq as a business opportunity," she said in a 2011 speech.

The quote was included in an email released by the State Department on Wednesday that specifically mentioned JPMorgan and Exxon Mobil. JPMorgan was selected by the U.S. government to run a key import-export bank in Iraq and in 2013 announced plans to expand its operations in the country. Exxon Mobil signed a
deal to redevelop Iraqi oil fields. JPMorgan has collectively paid the
Clintons and the Clinton Foundation at least $450,000 for speeches, and
Exxon Mobil has donated over $1 million to the family’s foundation.

Trashy Hillary Clinton could pimp Iraq as a business opportunity.

But the alleged 'feminist' couldn't and wouldn't do a damn thing for Iraqi women.

This is most obvious in the e-mails WikiLeaks published this week.

Melanne Verveer e-mails Hillary on December 11, 2011:We attempted to raise the issue of women's participation in the Iraq
government, in their economy and more broadly when Biden was just in
Baghdad. Jeff Feltman was trying to get it into the conversations
there.You will recall the comments of the Iraqi who participated in the NGO
meeting with you in Doha about how the door has been closed to women in
the government. We have had many discussions with impressive Iraqi
women over the last couple years, and to a person they describe their
fate as worse now than years ago. Yet without them it will be even
harder for Iraq to move forward. To that end, we have been working with
post on a action plan along the lines of the National Action Plan on
women, peace and security, you will launch next week.I hope you will find a way to raise the "women's issue" in your discussion tom'w.

And what does the 'great feminist' of all time, the woman with the highest cabinet position in the administration respond:

Verveer, at the time she e-mailed Hillary, was the Ambassador-at-Large
for Global Women's Issues. She had previously, in the 90s, served as
First Lady Hillary's Chief of staff, and, in 2001, she and Hillary
created the Vital Voices Global Parternship.

Hillary never used her platform as Secretary of State to publicly
encourage Nouri al-Maliki or Hoshyar Zebari (her Iraqi equivalent at the
time, Foreign Minister). Nor did she use her platform to publicly
shame either man.

She did, however, use her platform to repeatedly praise Zebari -- a man whose actions never warranted much praise at all.

Well, Verveer mentions an upcoming event, right?

To that end, we have been working with post on a action plan along
the lines of the National Action Plan on women, peace and security, you
will launch next week.

At his
emotional press conference responding to Chilcot, Blair said with a
catch in his throat that he felt deeply and sincerely all the grief of
the people of the UK and Iraq who had lost loved ones. He expressed
sorrow, regret and contrition. He claimed the report said there were no
lies, Parliament and Cabinet were not misled and there was no rush to
war. To cap it all, he said it was the right decision and he would do it
all again. At my school we were taught that a lie is the intent to
deceive; and that you cannot be forgiven unless you are truly sorry and
determined not to sin again.

The great communicator has come to the end of the line. He seemed a broken man.

This
is a very sorry tale. For me it is a matter of deep shame. I tried to
achieve better decisions with the partial information available to me
and in a very hostile atmosphere. But I failed, and this will live with
me for the rest of my life.

On Wednesday we finally saw the Chilcot Report . It was a damning indictment of how the Blair Government handled the war – and I take my fair share of blame. As the Deputy Prime Minister
in that Government I must express my fullest apology, especially to the
families of the 179 men and women who gave their lives in the Iraq War.

Chilcot went into great detail as to what went wrong. But I
want to identify certain lessons we must learn to prevent this tragedy
being repeated.

Hillary's answer to her every error and crime? "Move on." Not unlike
the laughable 'left' organization created to urge the country to forget
Bill Clinton's affairs.

Maybe the US media, so enchanted with Hillary, is devoted to her because they too don't like to tell the truth?

The washed up member of Congress is how wig-hatted Corrine appears these days.

You may remember we were among those who strongly objected to this idiot
being made Ranking Member on the House Veterans Affairs Committee.

Well Corrine's way too busy these days to Tweet. She also had to step
down Friday as Ranking Member on the House Veterans Affairs Committee.

That's because she's been indicted by the Justice Dept -- she and her chief of Staff Ronni Simmons. Kevin Bohn (CNN) reports:

Brown,
of Jacksonville, Florida, and her chief of staff, Elias "Ronnie"
Simmons, of Laurel, Maryland, were charged in a 24-count indictment,
included charges of participating in a conspiracy to commit mail and
wire fraud, multiple counts of mail and wire fraud, concealing material
facts on required financial disclosure forms, theft of government
property, obstruction of the due administration of the internal revenue
laws, and filing false tax returns, the Justice Department said in a
news release.

The trial will be closely watched throughout the country, primarily due
to the pleasure of seeing what ratty wig Corrine will wear next.

Thursday, the Veterans Affairs Department announced that they would
release a report later this month on veteran suicide rates after
"examining over 55 million Veteran records from 1979 to 2014." 2014, the
Department states, saw "an average of 20 Veterans a day died from
suicide." They also note:

65% of all Veterans who died from suicide in 2014 were 50 years of age or older.

Veterans accounted for 18% of all deaths from suicide among U.S.
adults. This is a decrease from the 22% that was estimated in 2010.

Since 2001, U.S. adult civilian suicides increased 23%, while
Veteran suicides increased 32% in the same time period. After
controlling for age and gender, this makes the risk of suicide 21%
greater for Veterans.

Since 2001, the rate of suicide among US Veterans who use VA
services increased by 8.8%, while the rate of suicide among Veterans who
do not use VA services increased by 38.6%.

In the same time period, the rate of suicide among male Veterans who
use VA services increased 11%, while the rate of suicide increased 35%
among male Veterans who do not use VA services.

In the same time period, the rate of suicide among female Veterans
who use VA services increased 4.6%, while the rate of suicide increased
98% among female Veterans who do not use VA services.

In response to the announcement, the office of US House Rep Jeff Miller,
Chair of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, issued the following
statement:

Miller Statement on Latest Veteran Suicide Data

For more information, contact: Curt Cashour, (202) 225-3527

Jul 7, 2016

Today, Chairman Jeff Miller released the below statement regarding the latest veteran suicide data from the Department of Veterans Affairs.“Any time a person who fought to defend America dies by their
own hand, it’s a tragedy. And these numbers are heartbreaking proof that
we have a long way to go in order to end this troubling trend. Last
year, Congress passed and President Obama signed the Clay Hunt Suicide
Prevention for American Veterans Act, which is helping to increase the
availability and efficacy of VA’s suicide prevention and mental health
services. The law is a step in the right direction, but sustained
progress will require a comprehensive approach to help ensure our most
at-risk veterans have not only the care they need but also a job, a
purpose and a system of support in place to help carry them through
their struggles. Therefore, we as a nation must do more to encourage
veterans in need to seek treatment and ask for help. And until we stop
the epidemic of veteran suicides in this country, there will always be
more work to do.” – Rep. Jeff Miller, Chairman, House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs

Then-Ranking Member on the House Veterans Affairs Committee Corrine was
too busy facing federal criminal charges to issue any statement about
veterans. But Senate Ranking Member Richard Blumenthal issued a statement which noted:

“This heartbreaking data—20 veteran suicides every day—mocks our
promise to keep faith with our nation's heroes. ‎The data has been
updated, but VA action must be as well. VA must more effectively use the
new tools provided by recent statues to do the outreach, research and
treatment that can help cut this number to zero. The Clay Hunt SAV Act
and the Female Veterans Suicide Prevention Act are positive steps, but
much more is necessary. These new numbers should be a continuing call to
action.”

And Senate Chair of the Veterans Affairs Committee Johnny Isakson issued a statement which included:

“The loss of one veteran to suicide is one too many,” said Isakson, a veteran himself. “That’s why the Senate VA Committee’s first order of business this Congress was to pass the Clay Hunt Suicide Prevention for American Veterans Act last
year to improve mental health care and suicide prevention resources for
American veterans. The VA’s latest data on veteran suicide rates in the
United States shows that some progress has been made, but that we have a
long way to go toward providing better access to mental health
resources for our veterans.”

“My
top priority as chairman is to see to it that we change the paradigm at
the Department of Veterans Affairs to deliver quality services in
unique ways that will benefit veterans,” Isakson continued. “That’s why I introduced the Veterans First Act –
sweeping reform legislation that goes further than ever to improve the
VA’s mental healthcare services for our veterans. I urge my colleagues
in the Senate to pass the Veterans First Actwithout
further delay to address this troubling epidemic and ensure that every
American veteran has timely evaluation and coordination of care to help
reduce the rate of suicide and improve the quality of health care for
all of our nation’s deserving veterans.”
